When I hear someone like @DavidPSamson say that we don’t need baseball on the radio, it drives me crazy.
We do need baseball on the radio, especially when people need seven or eight subscriptions to watch their teams.
We need baseball on the radio, so great young broadcasters like @JustinRocke @KeithRaad can grow.
We need baseball on the radio so we can go to the beach and listen to a game while watching the waves.
We need baseball on the radio so a legend like @davesims_ can do his thing for a whole new generation of Yankees fans.
We need baseball on the radio, period.
If it does ever go away, God forbid, it won’t be because we don’t need it, it will be because people like @DavidPSamson who sneer at the people who can’t afford the price of admission.
We need baseball on the radio.

Jeter to Murphy...
“The Brewers play baseball the right way” ….
- Pat Murphy replies … “Guys today don’t understand that!”
We have gotten so far away from center as to what winning baseball is and looks like… the younger generation’s focus is on launch angle, spin rates, velocity and you only win by out slugging the opponent! Basically…. Hit more HR than the other team…. Then pimp the HR.
Well eyes have been opened. They have to be. It’s now a matter of … if pride will keep the other orgs from following. If they do… our game will skyrocket like never before.
It was literally the most beautiful baseball I have seen at the MLB level … electric!

If you don’t love the brand of baseball being played in the World Series, then you just don’t love baseball. #WorldSeries

Turns out, people DO tune in for good baseball:
Recent World Series Game 1 Viewership (U.S.)
2026 (@Brewers vs. @RaysBaseball ): 15.2 million
2025 (Dodgers vs. Blue Jays): 13.3 million
2024 (Dodgers vs. Yankees): 14.16 million
2023 (Diamondbacks vs. Rangers): 9.17 million
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The number is inaccurate because viewership for Game 1 of the World Series has not yet been released.

The latest episode of Inside @lionupathletics, presented by @mynorthoaks, airs today at 5 PM. Our guests this week include @lionuptennis coach Jason Hayes, @lionupbaseball coach Bobby Barbier and Mark Willoughby - The Voice of @lionupfootball.
You mean … Baseball How it’s Supposed to be Played.
The Rays’ formula for winning baseball:
• MLB’s lowest strikeout rate (18.6%)
• AL-best batting average
• AL-best stolen base total
Now they’re AL champions and heading to the World Series.
They’re proof you don’t have to out-slug everyone to win. Put the ball in play, run the bases and make the other team defend.

And now I must confess
I could use some rest

Justin Verlander’s retirement means the active career shutout leader has fewer shutouts than Nolan Ryan has no-hitters.
